A First Aid Kit For Pack Goats

Everybody tends to remember the human first aid kit before they get too serious about leaving the truck behind for the great outdoors, but what about those 4 legged baggage porters you’re responsible for?

A LIST OF FIRST AID SUPPLIES FOR GOATS (and what they do)

A water proof bag for the first aid supplies to into, such as a zip lock or dry bag. BECAUSE: if your supplies get wet, moldy, and runny, they aren’t actually usable anymore.

Activated Charcoal or equivalent with dose (1-3ml) written on it. BECAUSE: If your goat gets poisoned on any of the numerous rhododendron family plants common in the southeast, (ex: mountain laurel), activated charcoal can be force fed to the goat to prevent it from dying.
